Question:

I am building a small camper similar to the Hiker trailers. It will be 5x8 and 4 feet tall and will have a galley on the rear. What type rack system/part number will work to be able to mount a batwing awning? The top of the camper will be flat. The web site is wanting a vehicle make and model which i dont have. I plan on using the RR33200 awning. Would this be too big and need the compact size? I am doing the drawings/plans now and would like to know where i need to add support for the rack mounts. Thanks in advance for any help with this.

We have awnings that you can direct mount to your trailer like with the Thule Hideaway Awning part # TH490018 but there isn't a way to attach a Rhino Rack Batwing without a roof rack setup that involves crossbars.
